Happy November!
I want to start by saying thank you so much for praying for me during the last half of October. I definitely felt your prayers and God has been amazing as usual. I taught the last session of our Follow Two Course a few weeks ago and even though our group was small this time around, they were so willing to learn. Here are our students celebrating their completion of the course.
We also saw this amazing bunch of people receive freedom and healing on our Freedom Day! I love the transformation of people’s faces throughout this day. It’s incredible how the weight of what they have been carrying for so long is lifted as they experience freedom!
Something exciting for me and for you, is that I had the privilege to lead one of these ladies in the picture to the Lord this month! I’ve started walking with her and helping her to learn biblical foundations – which is one of my favourite things to do!
Over the next few weeks I will be teaching our Follow Three Course as well as heading to Romania for a week of mission on the campuses in Bucharest. I’m hoping to also encourage the leaders of the newly planted church there.
November in America is where we come together to give thanks on Thanksgiving Day. I am so thankful for all of you. Your prayers, friendship, love, encouragement and support mean so much! I pray that you experience an abundance of His blessings in every area of your lives!
Lots of love,
Traci
Hello!
October has been an exciting month for us. The university term started this month and we have seen new students joining us each week on campus and in church. We also launched our youth group, Counter Culture, this month with over 80 teens showing up for the first event! We really feel like a shift has taken place and we are seeing incredible growth in so many areas of ministry across all three of our congregations. God is good!
This month has been especially full for me. By the time the month is over I will have taught one session on our Follow One Course, preached in our new series on the Life You’re Longing For, taught one session in our Follow Two Course and led and taught two sessions on our Freedom Day.
This past Sunday I preached on Longing for Ifs and Whens. Here is the video for you to watch:
So many times in our lives we put up barriers
that are excuses or fears to stop us from moving forward in God’s Plans for our lives. I call these our Ifs and Whens. If you are stuck in life because of an If or When, I pray that this message will help you to move forward and walk in God’s abundant life for you!
Please continue to pray for me over
this month – it’s only halfway over ;o).
Could I please ask you to also pray for my monthly support? Please pray that more people join our team to reach the nations. I am so thankful for all those who give but I also know that life and seasons change for everyone and their finances. I am praying blessings over each one of you – financially, spiritually and physically!
Lots of love

Hello!
Can you believe we are already in September?! September for us as a church is always like the beginning of the year because so many things start up again – Schools, Universities, Connect Groups, Follow Courses and Our Kids Ministry always has children moving up from one class to the next.
All of our staff across our 3 congregations have been working hard to have everything ready for each of these areas of ministry. Below is a picture of our full-time and missionary staff together at one of our “looking forward” meetings.
I also met up with Jessica this past month who was one of our medical students. She is now a full fledged doctor working in a hospital just outside of London. Every time I see Jessica I am reminded how God can change a person’s life! I met her about 5 years ago when she was invited by another one of our medical students to a Connect Group. She had never read the
Bible and the best word I could use to describe her was joyless. As her friend and I started walking with her, she asked Jesus into her heart and we saw her life transform from the inside out from what seemed like a shy, timid, joyless person to someone who was active on our kids team, an active student in our campus ministry, getting baptised even though her family was against it and going to Nepal by herself on her medical placement! She is now living outside London and immediately set out to find a local church family to be a part of to make a difference in the world around her! God is good!
This weekend our Connect Groups relaunch after our Summer break. I’m so excited that we have 18 amazing groups starting this season across our West Kensington congregation and hopefully a few more over the next few months. Please pray with me as I oversee these groups and their leaders. Pray that these groups will grow not only in their own personal relationships with Christ but also that there will be a growth of love for the lost in their worlds and that they will begin reach out to them!
Thank you so much for your love prayer and support – you have no idea how much it means to me and helps me!
Lots of love
Traci
